Water Makers Australia: fresh water aboard for longer trips
Water Makers Australia supplies watermakers that turn seawater into fresh water using reverse osmosis. For boat owners spending longer periods afloat, the systems provide water for cooking, washing and showers without relying solely on the tanks filled before departure.
Everyday water use still needs a supply
Time away on a boat comes with ordinary routines: preparing meals, washing up and showering after a day in the water. Those routines draw on the same stored supply. A watermaker gives owners a way to produce more fresh water aboard, matched to their vessel's power and the crew's demand.
We like the freedom that comes from addressing a basic need directly. Owners can consider longer stays away from marina facilities without making every water refill a separate destination. The value is in supporting daily life on the boat.
Installation around the space available
Water Makers Australia offers configurations rated up to 80, 160 and 240 litres per hour. Pumps, filters and membranes can be arranged as separate components, giving the modular systems flexibility aboard an existing vessel. Standard parts and filters are another practical part of the offering from this Australian-owned business.
We feature the company for our readers who use their own boats for extended time on the water. A fresh-water supply supports the people aboard throughout the trip, not only during the main activity. Making that water from seawater is a clear, useful benefit when the next shore connection is some distance away.
